Jeff Bezos, the world’s second-richest individual with a net worth of $203.7 billion, has made significant real estate moves in Florida’s exclusive Indian Creek Island, known colloquially as “Billionaire Bunker.”
Bezos’s acquisition spree began with two mansions purchased for a combined total of $147 million. Not stopping there, Bezos recently added a third property to his collection for $90 million.
